So what exactly is a high ankle sprain? How can it be treated? And what are the chances Patrick Mahomes will be in top form with a berth to the Super Bowl on the line?
Recovery from either a normal ankle sprain or high ankle sprain can take weeks to months. But as Mahomes demonstrated last weekend, professional athletes can perform even while they’re recovering – depending on certain factors.
“If the ligaments are functioning, as long as his pain and his symptoms are very mild, they can aggressively rehab him and get him back to play,’’ Oji said.Pain seemed of little consequence to Mahomes, who after the Chiefs beat the Jaguars told the media,"I’m not coming out of a playoff game unless they take me out. I’m just going to play. I love this sport too much.
“Injections are contraindicative in these high ankle sprains,’’ he said. “You’ll get short-term gain but long-term it will be detrimental to the athlete.’’concluded,"Injections are commonly used by health care practitioners to treat foot and ankle injuries in athletes despite ongoing questions regarding efficacy and safety.''
